🚀 Acceleration Converter
Convert acceleration units, metres per second squared, standard gravity (g-force), feet per second squared, gal, km/h per second and mph per second. 1 g = 9.80665 m/s².
1 m/s² = 0.1019716213 g
1 metres per second² = 0.10197162 g
1 × 0.101972 = 0.10197162
1 m/s² equals 0.101972 g, so multiplying by 0.101972 converts the value. The result describes the exact same quantity, only the measuring stick changes.

All acceleration units
| Unit | Symbol | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| Metre per second² | m/s² | The SI unit of acceleration, the rate of change of velocity of one metre per second, each second. Earth's gravity is about 9.81 m/s². |
| Standard gravity (g) | g | The standard acceleration due to gravity, exactly 9.80665 m/s². "g-force" expresses acceleration as a multiple of this, a 2 g turn pushes you at twice your weight. |
| Foot per second² | ft/s² | The imperial/US unit, one foot per second, per second, exactly 0.3048 m/s². Standard gravity is about 32.174 ft/s². |
| Gal (Galileo) | Gal | The CGS unit, one centimetre per second², exactly 0.01 m/s². Used in geodesy and gravimetry, where the milligal measures tiny variations in Earth's gravity. |
| km/h per second | km/h/s | How many km/h the speed gains each second, intuitive for vehicles. 0 to 100 km/h in 5 s averages 20 km/h/s ≈ 5.56 m/s². |
| mph per second | mph/s | How many mph the speed gains each second. A car doing 0-60 mph in 6 s averages 10 mph/s ≈ 4.47 m/s². |
| Inch per second² | in/s² | One inch per second, per second, exactly 0.0254 m/s². Occasionally used for small mechanisms and actuators. |
